This is my favourite amongst your nighttime railyard images, German. As in another one, the tanker car trains seem alive, perhaps like giant worms. On first looking at it, I kept feeling as if it were a close-up of a model, but I don't know why.
I like the fact that these images of yours create an unexpected air of mystery as a bonus, when I love this kind of imagery already when it's more typically prosaic.
You mention Kenna elsewhere. Some of his nocturnal images have an other-worldly quality, but it is more of the "dark satanic mills" variety, whereas this has a more mysterious quality for me. Good job!

Thanks for kind words, Chris
That is a fantastic photo. My own personal experience of Ventspils was very different and not so photogenic...
